More work today, setting up my air up/down system. Everything is spread out before installation. The red hoses will hook to my CO2 air tank in the back of the Tahoe and route under the carpet one coming out by the refrigerator one beside the back seat on the left side. They will be the connection points for airing up both tires on the right or left side at once. The black hoses are connected to two tires and dumped or filled when connected to the air tank. With this system I will be able to air up or let out air from two tires at a time.
With this valve set up when it is disconnected from the red hose the air can be dumped out really fast from both tires at once. Open the valve and air will flow out close it and the gauge (not installed yet) will read air pressure on both tires. There is an outlet in this manifold for an air gauge that will be added soon. When Airing up you connect the manifold to the red air line on either side and open the valve. The tank has an adjustable regulator set at 50 psi so I will be able to open the valve and take a break while the system does all the work. Then hook it to the other side and repeat. Later if I get lazier I can add two more air lines and do all four at once.
These are the best lock on air chucks I have found to date they are very positive they lock to more than one side. But they do cost a lot more.
Here is what the outlet looks like beside the left rear seat.
This little square storage area is where the two black hoses go when not in use. If your Tahoe storage area does not, look this big it is because you have not sawed the original box out of there yet... What are you waiting for the storage behind there is huge. Even with the hoses in place there is a lot of room. (Room for 2 more hoses) In this photo you can see I fasten a lot of stuff under the lift up shelf in the back so there is no wasted space here. If you are looking for a good place to store snow chains just get a small blue storage bag form Cabellas and stick some rubber gloves in a side pocket to keep your hands dry when putting them on or taking them off. This bag holds chains for a set of 35x12.5x17 tires.
This is the tank hook up without the regulator installed. I also installed two power outlets back here a twin USB and standard power port my refrigerator is plugged into this switched circuit to the secondary battery.
This is where you connect the black hose to fill the tires on the right side of the truck. It tucks back out of the way behind the refrigerator when not in use. The two black bags are medical trauma/first aid kits the red bag below the refrigerator are my jumper cables. These items are located here for fast easy access. No sense in having this stuff if you can't find it in a hurry.
